All packages you can find on Debian GNU/Linux will sooner or later be ported
to GNU/Hurd, with a few exceptions listed here:
http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-devel-debian
Whenever you want to use a package that hasn't been compiled, you just need:
apt-get -y install build-essential (once)
apt-get -y build-dep package
apt-get source -b package
and build it.
If compilation fails, you can fix the problem and send a patch :)
